    say no to sleeping rough this winter
    To plead to Doncaster City Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

  • London
    Open up empty buildings in Hackney
    To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless this winter. We have a night shelter for 25 people run by volunteers but due to health and saftey many vulnerable people are not allowed to access the service. It is communal sleeping in a hall , usually with no showers .The HIVE DALSTON showcases what our community can do when we work together . Open your empty buildings and our homeless can have privacy to sleep , a proper bed at night , support to move forward and be inclusive . Please can we have an empty building so we can help turn peoples lives around and look after each other. Thankyou

  • Slough
    Open up empty buildings in Slough
    Homeless people in this country are treated with so little respect it hurts to see it sometimes. In Slough in particular, I know of a few people living on the streets who literally can't get anywhere in life - that first step up that some many of us take for granted - because of the fact that they are homeless. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane to carry on letting people live like that, and it's also inexcusable, and quite frankly despicable, when we have so many empty buildings.

Over the past few years, the amount of homeless people begging on the streets in Bournemouth has grown exponentially and we need to take action to help them.
